Auto Start Macro on specified file

Post by Vejdirektoratet »

In a batch-command, I want to use the powerful TextPad-macros for editing various ascii-files.

Is that possible?

I can startup TextPad by calling the .exe file followed by the name of the ascii-file like,

c:\> call c:\program files\textpad\textpad.exe c:\temp\ascii.txt

But after that I need it to run a macro like EXC01.tpm and finally close down TextPad again.

I was hoping that I could do something like:

c:\>call c:\program files\textpad\textpad.exe c:\temp\ascii.txt /tpm=EXC01.tpm

The tool I use and recommend for that type of work is Macro Scheduler. Others will also suggest their favorite macro tools like AutoIt.
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob
